Glenn Frey co-founded the Eagles, one of the most commercially successful bands of the last half-century, and left behind a trove of indelible melodies including 17 Top-40 hits.

He died Monday at 67 in New York. His website confirmed that the singer had been ill for months and died of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, colitis and pneumonia. In November, the Eagles canceled their scheduled appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors on Dec. 6 when the band announced that Frey’s intestinal issues would “require major surgery and a lengthy recovery period.”
